Vishay expands low-profile, high-current inductor line

Vishay
Intertechnology Inc. announced a new IHLP low-profile, high-current inductor in
the 2020 case size. The compact IHLP-2020AB-01 offers an ultra-low
1.2 mm profile, with a high maximum frequency and low inductance values down to
0.10 µH.

With a
frequency range up to 5 MHz, the new IHLP inductor serves as a high-performing,
space- and power-saving solution for voltage regulator module (VRM) and DC/DC
converter applications in end products including next-generation mobile
devices; notebooks, graphic cards, portable gaming devices, personal navigation
systems, and personal multimedia devices; low-profile, high-current power
supplies and point of load (POL) converters; distributed power systems; and
field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).

The
IHLP-2020AB-01 offers an inductance range from 0.10 µH to 4.7 µH, a saturation
current range from 4.4 A up to 35 A, typical DCR from 4.32 mO to 159.0 mO, and
maximum DCR from 4.6 mO to 168.0 mO.

The new
inductor handles high transient current spikes without hard saturation.
Packaged in an RoHS-compliant, 100 % lead (Pb)-free shielded, composite
construction that reduces buzz noise to ultra-low levels, the new device is
specified for an operating temperature range of 55 °C to + 125 °C, with high
resistance to thermal shock, moisture, mechanical shock, and vibration.

Pricing: For
U.S. delivery only in 10,000-piece quantities is $0.40 per piece.

Availability:
Samples and production quantities of the new inductor are available now, with
lead times of 10 to 12 weeks for large orders.
